Best option for ultra thin liner?

[AWORKOFMARC]

So I modified a wallet pattern and while I love the look on the outside --the 4 rows of vertical stitching on the inside bill fold section is a bit much. I want to line it with something and I have zero experience lining anything. I got some "salpa" which, in my experimenting, took the dye well --but I'm not sure I should use that as a liner or would I be better off going with something like card stock paper thin goat skin? The vertical rows are what's going to be covered and the horiz. dots are where my liner stitch will go.

Goat skin should be ok I would think. There is also kangaroo if you want something a bit more fancy/priced.

Kangaroo has the advantage that it is naturally very thin compared to most other widely used leathers and is very strong for its weight.

I use a very thing silky smooth black fabric I buy at the big orange store. Very inexpensive for a liner material 

it does require a learning curve to deal with. It is so thin cutting it is a pita

so,  I use 1” wide yellow paper packing tape ,  I put the tape on the lines where I am going to cut

then over cut by 1/2”.  Fold the material to hide the edge. And sew

Thanks Gents! I'll look into Kanga.
